There’s a reason why the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach was recently named one of the Best 25 Spas of Mexico 2014 by Spa Professional Mexico. The 40,000 square-foot gem-inspired Gem Spa offers some pretty amazing spa treatments, utilizing chakra-balancing gems, a unique 10-step hydrotherapy ritual, sophisticated design elements, and luxurious spa amenities. The sleek spa flows over two stories and incorporates rich woods, luminous Italian mosaics, sand, marble and is integrated with dramatic water features throughout to create a serene oasis.
Hydrotherapy Ritual
We love a spa with serious hydrotherapy offerings, and this one has an impressive 10-step hydrotherapy ritual that offers a beautiful retreat, a journey through the healing qualities of water in all of its forms. These healing effects are achieved through a guided circuit including: aromatherapy steam room, multi-jet shower, clay steam room, ice room, sauna, rain shower, whirlpool, lagoon pool, a “pool of sensation” filled with bubble and floor geysers, water cascades, and neck jets. Through contrasts of warm and cool temperatures, combined with high and low water pressures, skin is soothed, cleansed, invigorated, and refreshed by the experience which ends in the relaxation lounge where fresh juices, water, and fruits await. The ritual is complimentary with any spa booking and is recommended prior to treatments.
The spa’s gem therapy treatments are inspired by the natural healing elements of gems from three distinct regions of the world—the Mayan Riviera, the South Pacific and Asia, and the Baltic. Various gemstones, indigenous to these regions, such as tiger’s eye, amber, amethyst, jade, and obsidian, are utilized to balance the seven chakras located throughout the body.

Amber, known in the Baltic region for its restorative and negative energy-fighting properties, works to boost the appearance of skin in the Amber Amulet Ritual. Jade, considered the “sovereign of harmony” in Mayan culture, is utilized as a relaxation stone in the Mayan Jade Four Hands Massage. A selection of signature treatments integrates the use of diamond dust including the Diamond Dust Body Exfoliation and Massage.
